Roof Cleaning in Plymouth & the South West
Moss and lichen don't just look bad - they hold moisture against your tiles, block gutters and slowly damage the roof. Our two-stage process removes the build-up and treats what's left to slow regrowth.
Why homeowners book us for roof cleaning
Extends roof life
Removing moss eases the load on tiles and stops the freeze-thaw damage that cracks them.
Frees up gutters
We scrape off the heavy growth before it ends up in your guttering and downpipes.
Slows regrowth
Biocide treatment kills the spores so it takes years rather than months to come back.
Fully insured at height
We work safely with proper roof ladders, harnesses and £5m public liability cover.
